Paragliding site not ready for Kwahu Easter celebration

With exactly four weeks away from the much
anticipated Kwahu Easter celebrations, a study
Flex newspaper conducted in some Kwahu
districts has revealed that one of the attraction
centres of the Easter celebrations is not ready and
there is no sign of its preparation.
Our team of correspondents including
entertainment radio presenters with Life fm in
Nkawkaw has reported that there is no activity or
preparation at Atibie where the Paragliding
activities take place. With pictures to support their
report, the team of observers have revealed that
the Paragliding grounds is still rough, the road
leading to the grounds is not cleared thoroughly
for motorist and there was no official
representative there to provide answers to their
questions.
The team made up Osarfo Kwabeng Emmanuel
popularly known as (OKE) and Emmanuel Logah
both of Life 98.7 fm were at the Paragliding site
last week and the only person they encountered
there was one security person, who gave his
name as Tetteh. According to Tetteh, he has been
keeping the place tidy as he weeds the
surroundings himself anytime he finds the place
bushy.
Among other things, these were some of the
issues they raised in their observation. “Aside
Tetteh`s manual weeding around where his
security post is, there has not been any clearing
around the place. Even as it stands, two vehicles
cannot drive pass each other on the road leading
to the site as one would have to park to give way
to the other to drive smoothly.
The minister of Road and Transport was here to
inspect the road for work to be done, but nothing
has started yet. The road to the site is also very
dusty and not friendly to motorist so we are
appealing to stakeholders to intervene as quickly
as possible to make the celebration a worthwhile
one. Often times, people go the Paragliding site
and they become disappointed because of harsh
conditions. Even the main road on the Atibie
mountains is not in the best of shape so they
should consider working on that one too” our
respondents filed this report.
Attempts to get Mr Ben Anane Nsiah who
happens to be the Manager of special events at
the Tourism Ministry proved futile as his contact
number could not be reached as of the time we
were preparing for press.
